The Fifth grade Science curriculum covers the Water Cycle, Matter and Energy, Space, Force and Motion and Simple Machines. Each student keeps a science journal that will document their adventures that we take throughout the year when exploring science.
We also like to talk about current issues in science. We have discussed the different issues and have made some presentations for Earth Day. I have attached some links below:
